And why on earth would you take such a risk with your forever-portrait in the Smithsonian?? I'd have 3 people working on different versions, and pick the best one before I showed it anywhere.
yeah upon more reflection it's not as dope as i had thought. my feeling was- portraits are difficult to get right and at the end of the day it wasn't a total disaster so i gave it some slack, but after looking for awhile there are some fair criticisms with not only the composition but the technique too, as have been pointed out in the threads

also it looks out of place in comparison with the other official portraits

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Sometimes words have more than one meaning.

I’m no art major, but I thought the whole leaves, lotus blossoms, foliage-in-the-background style was a communist thing?

I was never an art major but I thought that more or less, the leaves/flowers are an Asain thing, and not a communist thing?
